Κοινότητα συγκέντρωσε 40.000 δολάρια για διανομέα που πήρε μικρό φιλοδώρημα κατά τη διάρκεια χιονοθύελλας

Πολύ συχνά, οι διανομείς έρχονται αντιμέτωποι με αντίξοες καιρικές συνθήκες για να φέρουν φαγητό και άλλα αγαθά στην πόρτα μας. Αν και το σύστημα δεν είναι τέλειο και δεν θα έπρεπε να βασίζονται στα φιλοδωρήματα για να ζήσουν, το λιγότερο που μπορούμε να κάνουμε είναι να εκτιμούμε τις υπηρεσίες τους, αναφέρει το mymodernmet.
Αυτό δεν συνέβη στην περίπτωση του Connor Stephanoff, ενός διανομέα πίτσας από την Ιντιάνα των ΗΠΑ, ο οποίος έκανε μια παράδοση κατά τη διάρκεια χιονοθύελλας, για να λάβει ένα φιλοδώρημα μόλις 2 δολαρίων. Όλο το περιστατικό καταγράφηκε από έναν αστυνομικό, ο οποίος το ανάρτησε στο TikTok.
«Δεν κάλεσε τον πελάτη να του πει ότι η παραγγελία δεν μπορούσε να παραδοθεί. Δεν αποθαρρύνθηκε από τα εμπόδια, τα οποία περιλάμβαναν μια διαδρομή 800 μέτρων μέσα στο κρύο και το χιόνι. Πάρκαρε το όχημά του στην κορυφή του λόφου, βγήκε έξω φορώντας γκρι φόρμες, αθλητικά παπούτσια και χωρίς παλτό ή γάντια», εξήγησε ο αστυνομικός.
@officercraig $2 TIP SHOULD BE A CRIME! Whoever did this: #SHAMEFUL ROCKSTAR PIZZA HAS A ROCKSTAR DRIVER. (Brownsburg, IN.) This guy is a RARE breed. During today’s all day snowstorm, crashes and slideoffs were coming in near 30 calls an hour. This school bus had a minor crash. The bus slid backwards and sideways down a hill and gets stuck, blocking this neighborhood street, and making it completely impassable. The roads were so bad, it took us 20 min. to get 3-4 miles. THIS #DELIVERYDRIVER pulled up before officers arrived. The delivery was about 1/4 mile past where the bus was blocking the street. This young man did not allow this to discourage him. He didn’t call his manager to complain, he didn’t call the customer and tell them their $40 pizza order could not be delivered. Oh no. THIS MAN IS BUILT DIFFERENT. He would not be discouraged by the obstacles he was encountering, which included a 1/2 mile hike round trip in the cold, wet snow. He parked his vehicle at the top of the hill, got out, wearing grey sweats, Nikes, and NO COAT nor GLOVES. He grabbed this #RockstarPizza, and took off hiking thru the very cold, and wet snow with the pizza in tow. It was the beginning of his shift at 4:30p on a Friday afternoon, BUT he was determined this family got their pizza. This is in a more affluent neighborhood, and I’m sure he thought he would be rewarded properly for his RARE display of PRIDE and DEDICATION to his work- that is often times not seen by some of his generation. But more so, he wanted to ensure this family got their pizza to their door! So they did not have to leave the confines of their warm, comfortable, AND VERY NICE home. He got my attention as I see him walking in the middle of street after he made the delivery. I said outloud “what does this guy think he is doing?” As I initially thought he was a neighbor coming to “rubberneck” the crash. The bus driver told me he walked by once and was delivering a pizza. I didn’t believe that fully because what young pizza delivery guy in 2025 would do this??? None that I know! Not believing it completely, I hit RECORD and ask this young man. I was dumbfounded and in disbelief when he confirmed. But most of all – I was impressed- AND STILL AM! I’m proud to witness this firsthand. But my excitement and pride quickly turned to frustration when I asked him about his tip. WHO TIPS A GUY WHO RISKS EVERYTHING TO DRIVE FOOD TO YOUR DOOR LIKE THIS?? Let alone, gets out to hike it to you while every road was nearly impassable! I REALLY HOPE this algorithm is good enough that whomever DID THIS, SEES THIS! You should be ashamed of yourself whoever u are!! SHAME ON YOU. A $40 pizza delivered and a $2 tip! EVERYONE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CAN AFFORD IT. AND IF THEY CANT, STOP ORDERING PIZZA YOU CANT AFFORD! After processing he only received $2, and what I just witnessed, I reached for my own wallet. To PAY THE TIP FOR SOMEONE THAT PROBABLY MAKES DOUBLE MY SALARY. But I did not want this young man discouraged. Unfortunately my wallet was in my Tahoe, which was at the top of the big hill. I quickly as I could chased him down up the hill giving him the little cash I had in my wallet. (About $15) HE DESERVED MUCH MORE. Not sure who this guy is, BUT IF YOU DO, PLZ TAG HIM, SHOW HIM SOME ❤️❤️❤️ AND GIVE HIM THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES! Well done sir.🫡#IncredibleWork #Rockstar #Brownsburg #Indiana #delivery #Driver #snow #PizzaGuy #pizza @Dave Portnoy #LifeLawAndFootball #dedicated #workethic @Pat McAfee Show Clips ♬ original sound – Officer Craig
Έκπληκτος από το γεγονός ότι ήταν έξω στο κρύο για να παραδώσει μια πίτσα, ο αστυνομικός τον ρώτησε αν τουλάχιστον είχε λάβει καλό φιλοδώρημα, δεδομένου ότι βρίσκονταν σε μια εύπορη γειτονιά. Ο Stephanoff απάντησε ότι του έδωσαν μόλις 2 δολάρια για μια παραγγελία 40 δολαρίων. Μόλις το άκουσε, ο αστυνομικός έτρεξε στο αυτοκίνητό του και του έδωσε τα 15 δολάρια που είχε μαζί του.
Ωστόσο, δεν σταμάτησε εκεί. Ξεκίνησε μια καμπάνια στο GoFundMe με στόχο 500 δολάρια. «Είδα από πρώτο χέρι την ηθική, την αφοσίωση και την αποφασιστικότητα αυτού του νεαρού άνδρα ενώ βρισκόμουν στο σημείο του ατυχήματος», έγραψε.
@officercraig Replying to @Brooklyn Johnson-Waterman Luckily I had a little cash in my wallet that was in the truck! BUT HE DESERVES MUCH MORE. I just started his GoFundMe! Please share and encourage others to throw in if they can!! I want to try to get him a tip he deserves -if we can!! Let’s go! https://gofund.me/2d6f19ec. #OfficerCraig #RockStarPizzaBrownsburg #PizzaDeliveryDriver #RockstarDriver #GoFundMe #fyp #foryou #LifeLawAndFootball ♬ original sound – Officer Craig
Μέχρι αυτή τη στιγμή, η καμπάνια είχε συγκεντρώσει σχεδόν 40.000 δολάρια. Ο Stephanoff, ο οποίος ζει με τη γιαγιά του και τη βοηθά με τους λογαριασμούς, δήλωσε ότι είναι ευγνώμων για τα χρήματα, καθώς θα μπορέσει να τη στηρίξει λίγο περισσότερο αυτήν την περίοδο.
